Sort of... the company name is something that should be unique and understood by others implementing RIP (this was a recent change - "ECMI" is the metadata standard, while RIP is the Revolution Interoperability Protocol and is used to manage the interoperability issues like namespaces). Both you and Paul Looney have suggested that a registry start being kept... so if you want to email me with your company prefix (unless you're going to use HAP), I'll start setting up a document and posting it at the Rev Interop group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/revInterop/). In fact, you should go over there and download the latest (Draft 004) specification so you can see how the globals/etc. are used. You'll see the second part of the string is relative to your product name, so you can use anything you like since the company prefix is unique.
